An object of what mass, acted upon by a net force of 20 N, will experience an acceleration of 10 m/s 2? 2 kg. 200 kg. 1/2 kg. 10 kg.

Answer 1

Newton's second law states, algebraically, F = ma. Solving the equation for the mass m, we have m = F/a. By direct substitution:

m = F/a

m = (20 N) / (10 m/s²)

m = 2 kg
